i just re-read the entire thread and i am impressed at the development of osx x86 running under an nforce 6 chipset! anyhow, i have a couple of questions that i need clearing... given that leopard is here with us...

 

- does SATA HDD work?

- does SATA Optical drive work?

- what other components that are not working?

- i have downloaded the MacDaveNF6Installer.DMG... does it work with leopard? or is it for tiger only?

 

thank you in advanced and merry Christmas! :P

-SATA won"t work during installation, but you can enable it later by the new nforceata kext,

or can make a patch for dvd to work, don't know if this work :) no one try yet

- all other components have developed drivers and are all confirmed to work at least!!

- macdavenf6 only work for tiger, no use for leopard

 

:P offtopic Question: can 680i benefit from pcefi???

Hi everyone!I finally succeded in installing Mac OS X on my PC.I used Leo4ALL v3, and my system is based on nforce 560, with a dual core AMD, and a Radeon HD2600XT.The funny fact is that I used for my install a DVD Sata drive, and a IDE 13GB Seagate drive, dating back from 1998.Everything installed ok, but I have to take out my keyb, and plug it back again, but I guess this can be resolved with a new kext for the PS2 controller.My problem is with the LAN, because my internet provider uses the PPPoE connection and the LAN connection.When I set my Connection on automatically-"assigned by DHCP" it says- "No IP adress", and when I use the IP from XP it connects, but the PPPoE connection fails to connect.I think the problem is from a bad kext, and if you could help me with a good kext, or some advice..

 

Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad english.
